I'm very lucky to have a job where I can still work from home most days, but I also know who my real boss is.

I just returned from an off-site in London. We determined that it might well be cheaper to buy everyone VR and run next year's meeting that way.
If we had to pay full fare for flights (and I wish we did after the fiasco I endured with a cancellation as I was standing in the TSA line) it'd be even closer. And less risk...

At $400 each for a VR headset, definitely cheaper.

No matter where you place that is the best attitude to have though. I have seen a lot of guys compare how fast they are to how fast others are, or other cars even and then wonder why they can’t get faster.

My new boss got me good. My work uniforms won’t even ship till 10/24, he found some shirts at least and they mostly fit. It wasn’t till we were sitting around in a group that he told me they were woman’s shirts lol. None of the other guys noticed either
